You Must Distinguish…

I was reading in Leviticus 10: the account of how Arron’s two sons brought unauthorized fire before the LORD. The result was that fire came out from the LORD and burned them to death.

So, there are LOTS of things I could write about from this text and I’m sure LOTS of questions I could ask to help me better understand the passage. However, I got “hit” with verse 10. Which says:

“You must distinguish between the holy and the common, and the clean and the unclean…”

What hits me particularly is that I kept wondering “Do I know how to distinguish between the holy and the common?”

Websters 1828 dictionary (one I like to use a lot) has a definition that says:

Distinguish – to separate or divide by any mark or quality which constitutes difference; to know or ascertain difference.

This is not a question I have answered! I’m writing this because I’m asking you to ponder with me what it means to distinguish the holy from the common. Take it to the LORD and see what answers He gives you!
